A crucial discovery in gene regulation! The Chuan He lab has found that the RNA modification (Nm) is actually a vital signal, read by the protein FUBP1, which dictates how your genetic blueprints are cut and pasted inside the cell's nucleus. Read the full genetic plot twist: shorturl.at/r1Hm0
Nuclear 2′-O-methylation regulates RNA splicing through its binding protein FUBP1
FUBP1 is identified as an Nm-binding protein that regulates Nm-dependent splicing via intronic sites on chromatin-associated RNA.
